2.
Locate the white release lever and slide
the lever forward when pulling the
gearshift lever out of the park (P)
position and into the neutral (N)
position.
3. Reinstall the chrome bezel and the gearshift bracket.
4. Start your vehicle and release the parking brake.
Note: If you use this procedure, contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Note: For some markets, this feature is
disabled. Automatic Transmission Adaptive
Learning
We design this feature to increase
durability and provide consistent shift feel
over the life of your vehicle. A new vehicle
or transmission may have firm or soft
shifts. This operation is normal and does
not affect the function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive
learning process fully updates transmission
operation.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud
or Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
you could rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires could occur, or the
engine could overheat.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure the engine is
cool before unscrewing the coolant
pressure relief cap. The cooling system
is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid
can come out forcefully when you loosen
the cap slightly. WARNING:
Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or additives as they can
cause damage to the engine cooling or
heating systems. Your vehicle warranty
would not cover this damage.
• DO NOT MIX different colors or types
of coolant in your vehicle. Make sure
you use the correct coolant. Mixing of
engine coolants could harm your
engine ’s cooling system. The use of an
improper coolant could harm engine
and cooling system components and
could void the warranty.
• In case of emergency, you can add a
large amount of water without engine
coolant, in order to reach a vehicle
service location. In this instance, drain
the cooling system, chemically clean
the system with Motorcraft® Premium
Cooling System Flush, and refill with
prediluted coolant as soon as possible.
Water alone without engine coolant
can cause engine damage from
corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Note: Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol antifreeze coolant. Alcohol and
other liquids can cause engine damage from
overheating or freezing.
Note: Do not add extra inhibitors or
additives to the coolant. These can be
harmful and compromise the corrosion
protection of the engine coolant. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
could escape as you unscrew the cap.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting our
specification. See the Capacities and
Specifications chapter of the Owner's
Manual for more information. Whenever
you add coolant, check the coolant level
in the coolant reservoir the next few times
you drive the vehicle. If necessary, add
enough prediluted coolant to bring the
coolant level to the proper level.
Coolant Refill Procedure
Use the following procedure when refilling
the cooling system after it has been
drained or become extremely low.
1. Remove the pressure relief cap from
the coolant reservoir as previously
outlined.
2. Slowly add prediluted coolant to the coolant reservoir until the coolant level
is between the
MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir.
3. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
4. Start and idle the engine until the upper
radiator hose is warm, which indicates
the thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through the entire system.
5. Shut the engine off and let it cool.
6. Remove the pressure relief cap from the coolant reservoir as previously
outlined.
7. Add prediluted coolant to the coolant reservoir until the coolant level is
between the
MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir.
8. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
9. Check the coolant level in the reservoir
before you drive your vehicle the next
few times with the engine cool.

10. If necessary, add prediluted coolant
to the coolant reservoir until the
coolant level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
Whenever you add coolant, check the
coolant level in the coolant reservoir the
next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add prediluted coolant to bring
the coolant level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than
1 qt (1 L) of
coolant per month, have your dealer check
the cooling system. Your cooling system
could have a leak. Operating an engine
with a low level of coolant can result in
engine overheating and engine damage.

•
Under normal operating conditions, a
message appears in the information
display to indicate the regular oil
change interval.
• Under severe operating conditions, the
oil change interval may reduce, and the
message interval may adjust.
High performance vehicles can be driven
in such a way that may lead to higher oil
consumption (this includes extended time
at high engine speeds, high loads, engine
braking, hard cornering maneuvers, and
track use). Under these conditions, oil
consumption of approximately 1 quart per
500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible.
As a result, the engine oil level needs to be
checked at every refueling and adjusted to
maintain proper level to avoid engine
damage.
Note: Oil level should not exceed the
maximum mark on the indicator. See
Engine Oil Check (page 38).
When the oil change message appears in
the information display, it is time for an oil
change. Make sure you perform the oil
change within two weeks or
500 mi
(800 km) of the message appearing. Make
sure you reset the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor after each oil change.
If your information display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at
six months or
5,000 mi (8,000 km) from
your last oil change. Never exceed one year
or
10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil
change intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle
’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
